Uhm. trashcans are not a function of the window manager=E2=80=BD fvwm can= be used as a wm with gnome or kde stuff instead of their default wms (the wm is only a small but admittedly highly visible part of a desktop environment!) if you want. The trashcan spec is something apps that "delete" stuff might or might not comply with, not much to do with the wm. If you use fvwm and never use a gui file manager or trashcan applet, you might seldom/never _see_ a trashcan of course. You might want to see if you've accumulated a bunch of crap in ~/.local/share/Trash though from apps silently trashing stuff when you thought they were deleting.
